Farmer Relief & Freedom Relay

Farmer Relief & Freedom Relay to partner with Saving the Valley that Hope Forgot – A Tea Party Patriots™ relief relay across the nation to assist the farmers of California’s Central Valley

In actions that can only be described as lacking the most basic humanity, the U.S. Congress has turned off the water to Central Valley farmers, leaving their land dry, their fields fallow, and their dreams and ambitions scattered in the dust. Tens of thousands are unemployed and waiting in food lines because of the federal government, proving once again that the government is the problem, not the solution.

In the Central Valley of California, local groups including the Central Valley Tea Party, Water for All, Families Protecting the Valley, and local valley farmers have banded together to provide immediate and direct assistance to the suffering communities. The Central Valley Tea Party naturally reached out to their nationwide network through the Tea Party Patriots™, and across the nation the response was overwhelmingly positive. From this nationwide web, the Farmer Relief & Freedom Relay was formed.

Mission:
Tea Party Patriots™ from across the nation are organizing three relief lines from east to west, and driving across the country with food, clothing, gift cards and other donations to assist the farmers who have been forsaken by their own government in what has become California's Katrina. Along the way we will pressure the U.S. Congress to pass the necessary legislation immediately to turn on the water, and keep it on. And we will bring attention to the economic devastation, and personal hardship caused by thirty years of mismanagement and tyranny at the federal, state and local levels.

From November 8th - 22nd, Tea Party Patriots™ are taking to the road on behalf of The Valley That Hope Forgot.

Would you believe it if you were told that the American government is forcing tens of thousands of California farmers to fight for their survival all in order to protect a small 2 inch minnow?

Well it is happening in the Vally that Hope Forgot.

Time is running out. Unless legislation changes things in the next few weeks, it will be too late for the Farmers to get water for 2010.

Jeremy appeals for help for the California valley where the rights of a supposedly endangered minnow have superceeded the rights of tens of thousands of farmers.

IN FINAL HOURS, AN INTENSE PUSH FOR 'YES' VOTES

I almost choked when I read this portion of the article regarding the last minute deals being negotiated to pass the healthcare reform bill;

For Rep. Dennis Cardoza, it was an assurance from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the drought afflicting California's Central Valley would get high-level attention.

A carrot to pass this bill while thousands of people suffer the loss of their homes and livelihoods and watch their land dry into a desert scene. If Pelosi can do something now she could have done something before, in fact, I don't believe this ever would have happened were it not to provide themselves the leverage they might need to push this disgusting bill through. They should all be arrested. To say this is a disgrace is simply too mild. It puts my stomach in knots.; ▶ Reply to This

I wonder how she can stand to look in the mirror everyday, as she must see something awful, from her misdeeds and lies. Hope she enjoys her last Christmas in Washington as we will Flip This House.; ▶ Reply to This
